In the beginning God instituted marriage,between a man and a woman, a union in which the sole purpose was for the propagation of the human race. The continuance of the human race requires that there be a male and a female. This is the way which God chose for the planet earth to be populated. One of today's most controversial subjects is homosexuality or what some choose to call an alternate lifestyle.Some even claim that they were born that way. My question for those who choose to live this so called alternate lifestyle is why did God equip man and woman with the sexual tools needed to continue the human race. What if He had not created humans with the necessary tools for continuing the Human race? Just suppose He had created Adam and Steve,wonder where the human race would be today,no longer in existence.I tend to believe what God in His holy word says about the composition of a family unit,a man,woman and child.When it comes down to the final say on the matter what you and me think about it is irrelevant,only what God says about the subject really matters.In both the O.T. and the N.T. He strongly condemns it calling it an abomination in His sight.We as Christians should point out the sin that it is and love and pray for the person who lives the lifestyle. Hate has no room in a Christians life and in reality is a sin just as homosexuality is a sin,not by my say so but by the word of God.In the book of Leviticus,Lev.18:22 " Thou shalt not lie with mankind,as with womankind:it is abomination." This is one of the strongest words God uses to describe a sin.Some will say that is the O.T. and does not apply today.Sorry,in Roms.1:26-27 the apostle Paul says, Roms.1:26 "For this God gave them up into vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Roms.1:27 "And likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman,burned in their lust one toward another;men with men working that which is unseemly,and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet." God is love and cannot hate those who sin, but He does hate the sin in which they are entrapped. God can and does forgive all sin and in the forgiveness of that sin changes the person. In 2Corn.5:17 " therefore if any man be in Christ,he is a new creature:old things are passed away;behold,all things are become new." 1Corn.6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God? Be not deceived : neither fornicators,nor effeminate,nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 1Corn.6:10 "Nor thieves,nor covetous,nor drunkards,nor revilers,nor extortioners,shall inherit the Kingdom." The Kingdom of God is reserved for those who are saved through and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ.My humble prayer is that each of you come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and meet me in Heaven. AMEN & AMEN!

"Agape Love"
" Forgiveness"
The simple definition of forgiveness is," I give up the right to hurt you after you have hurt me." The cornerstone of Christianity along with faith is forgiveness.Standing with and supporting these two is Love.It is hard to imagine what would have happened if Jesus had not uttered those three words,"Father forgive them." Personal opinion is that He would have come down off the cross at that moment and mankind would have been doomed. Love took Jesus to the cross and love kept Him on the cross.Other than love, there is an underlying reason for the death of Jesus on the cross.If Jesus had not of died on the cross of Calvary the victory would have been Satan's.Thank God for His amazing grace and His marvelous mercy in sending His only begotten Son Jesus to die on the cross of Calvary for you and me and all of mankind. AMEN!
Poem by: James Gary Grant
One God,yet three persons revealed in the Holy Trinity.As seen in the first name of God which is used in Chap.1 verse 1 of Genesis. Elohim=God: The first of the names of Deity,is a plural noun in form but is singular in use when it refers to the true God.Emphasis in Gen.1:26 is on the plurality in Deity; In V.27,on the unity of the divine Substance.God in all of scripture never tries to prove His existence,simply because it is a matter of childlike Faith. He says "In the beginning God"or here "I Am",take Me or leave Me, or take me on Faith,reject me by your unbelief.My friend it is a free choice, but one should weigh the consequences of their decision,because it is for all of Eternity.I have made my choice,and pray that I will meet you in Heaven, home of the saved who have chosen Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord ! AMEN!
" Blood shed in sacrifice is Precious Blood" Thank you Jesus!

"BLACK AND WHITE"
58,000 Americans died in Vietnam.
All colors died in the war.War is no respecter of race. Death calls on one and all.Race is not important,but your Soul is, get saved!
I cannot understand why there is even a discussion about race! God sees all humans as either Saved or Lost! There is neither black nor white with God, we are all the same color to Him. He only looks at the condition of the Soul. God in reality is color blind! Look at the two squares at the top,do you fit either one,I hardly think so! There are no black people and no white people.We are all varying shades of brown. There are no native Americans,the first people here in America were migrants from other countries.All of humankind are descended from the first Man and Woman (Adam & Eve) and only God knows what color their skin was.When it comes to race and color all are the same to God,because He is no respecter of persons. In Heaven we will all be one big happy family,known as The Family of God.Here on this earth we have our prejudices,petty differences and even hatred,which won't be in Heaven,so get rid of them here,you can't take them with you.God and only God can save a person and change them into a new creature.Once God saves and changes a person all of the bad things that plague us as humans will be gone forever!Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and let Him be the Lord of your life! May God Bless! jcurlysarge
GOD is Love, Jesus is Love, God and Jesus, One and the same God loves you,Jesus loves you.
Color did not make a difference,they were all dead!
Various shades of the Human Race,no black
or white.
Jesus saves all regardless of race, color or creed! No other name give whereby man can be saved. "Jesus"

Love of a father and love of a mother do not God's love equal.
A mother's love nearer to the love of God does come.
When applied to all in life love does become a fitting sequel.
His love to all is freely given and not to just some.
Upon Calvary's cruel cross God gave for us His only begotten Son.
A bridge spanning the gap that God and man does separate.
Calvary's cross where Jesus over Satan the victory won.
Nailed to that old rugged cross for you and me our sin to eliminate.
This same Jesus on the third and appointed day did arise.
With power and healing,along with His Father's favor and Glory.
One day soon Jesus is coming for His Church,splitting the eastern sky.
Most all things have an ending,but this my friend just begins the story.
"Simple Math"
"Let's Make a Deal"
Everyone over the age of 30 yrs. old probably remembers the T.V. program "Let's Make A Deal",with Monty Hall as the host.People in the audience were invited to come on down. Once on stage they were given a choice between three doors.One with a dud prize and the other two with better prizes.Only the contestant could choose which door to take.The door with the dud prize always brought disappoint,whereas the other two doors brought joy and happiness. Over two thousand years ago God said to Mankind "Lets Make A Deal",My Son for your sins.The only difference was that with God's deal there was just two doors.Both doors were accessed through the "Cross of Calvary" and Jesus Christ's atoning death on that cross. Jn.10:7-Then said Jesus unto them again,verily,verily,I say unto you,I am the Door of the sheep. Jn.10:9-I am the Door by me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and shall go in and out,and find pasture.The two doors are acceptance and rejection. Accept Jesus as your Savior and enter the Door to Heaven,reject Jesus and enter the Door to Hell. So my friend remember one thing "Eternity is a long time to be wrong".So My Friend make the right choice for once you make your choice it can never be changed or reversed.I made the right choice 61 yrs. ago and hope that you will do the same and meet me in Heaven. May God Bless!

To fully understand the word of God one must master simple math.
(1)Don't add to God's word.(2)Don't subtract from God's word.
(3)Rightly divide God's word.(4)Leave the multiplication up to God.
(A)Addition:Rev.22:18-For I testify unto every man that heareth the
words of the prophecy of this book.if any man shall add unto these
things,God shall add unto the plagues that are written in this book.
(B)Subtraction:Rev.22:19-And if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy,God shall take away his part out
of the Holy City,and out of the things which are written in this book.
(C)Division:2nd.Tim.2:15-Study to show thyself approved unto God,
a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,rightly dividing the word
of truth.
(D)Multiplication:2Pet.1:2-Grace and peace be multiplied unto you
through the knowledge of God,and of Jesus,our Lord.
If we honor and take care of the Addition,Subtraction and Division
a loving God will multiply unto us many joys and blessings! Amen!
